Gardner  Sash  Balance  Co. 

Chicago  III. 


311  FIRST  NATIONAL  BANK  BUILDING, 


NOTE  WHAT  IT  IS. 


The  Steel  Ribbon  is  practically  indestructible,  and  is  conse- 
q ii  ntly  superior  to  any  quality  of  cord  or  chain. 

It  is  made  specially  for  the  purpose,  and  is  thoroughly  tested 
to  a point  far  in  excess  of  the  strain  to  which  it  will  be  subjected. 

It  is  specially  prepared  to  prevent  corrosion. 

It  can  be  painted  to  match  the  color  of  the  woodwork. 

They  are  made  with  turned  axles  and  turned  wheels,  and 
steel  pins. 

The  grooves  in  the  pulleys  are  made  expressly  to  allow  the 
ribbon  to  run  noiselessly. 

With  it  any  door  or  window  weighing  from  5 to  5,000  lbs. 
can  be  hung  in  the  most  satisfactory  manner. 

The  pulleys  are  made  in  the  best  manner,  with  particular 
reference  to  their  use  with  the  steel  ribbon. 

The  attachments  are  easily  applied  and  so  constructed  that 
the  strength  of  the  ribbon  is  not  impaired  at  any  point. 

Samples  and  any  further  information  desired,  sent  on  appli- 
cation. 


We  Can  Make  Ribbon  Cheaper  Than  the  Cheapest  Rope. 
We  Do  Not  Guarantee  It. 


From  experience  gained  in  refitting  fifteen  of  the  largest 
buildings  in  Chicago,  besides  repairing  a great  many 
windows  in  various  buildings,  we  have  found  iiniversall}^  that 
too  small  pulleys  are  used  in  connection  with  heavy  windows. 

For  the  best  working  of  the  windows,  the  following  size 
pulleys  should  be  used: 

Windows  not  over  40  pounds,  2 inch. 

60  pounds.  2]  inch. 

100  pounds,  2I  inch. 

150  pounds,  3 inch. 

250  pounds,  3I  inch. 

300  pounds,  4 inch. 

350  pounds,  4.2  inch. 

While  we  give  these  sizes  as  furnishing  the  best  results, 
and  insuring  long  life  to  the  hanging  of  the  window,*  the  smaller 
sizes  can  be  used  with  fair  satisfaction,  yet  with  not  so  per- 
manent results. 

All  our  pulleys  in  all  sizes  will  be  fonnd  very  heavy  in 
comparison  with  other  pulleys,  with  large  pins  and  very  snb- 
stantially  made. 

The  above  figures  are  simply  as  a suggestion,  which  we 
have  gained  by  our  experience  in  rehanging  old  buildings. 
In  figuring  the  weight  of  windows,  5 ponnds  per  square  foot 
is  the  approximate  weight  of  plate  glass,  and  3 pounds  for 
donble  strength. 

These  figures  can  be  relied  npon  in  figuring  the  sizes  of 
ribbon  needed  for  different  size  sash.

CHICAGO,  January  U,  1892. 

ir.  F.  3Ierrill,  Esq.,  General  Manaqcr: 

Dear  Sir — We  liave  used  the  Gardner  Noiseless  Pulleys  on  most  all  the  windows 
in  the  General  Office  for  the  last  tw(*  years,  and  have  found  them  to  give  general 
satisfaction.  The  windows  handle  much  easier  and  are  never  out  of  order,  and  so 
far  have  never  had  to  replace  one.  I Ihinlc  they  are  a great  imiirovement  on  tlie  old 
cord  formerly  used,  and  in  the  long  run  are  much  more  economical.  They  have 
worked  so  satisfactorily  that  it  was  decided  some  time  ago  that  as  fast  as  the  old 
cords  gave  out  they  are  to  be  re|)laced  by  the  Gardner  system. 

A’onrs  truly.

breaking.  Since  your  device  has  been  put  in,  it  lias  not  been  necessary  to  repair  a

Gentlemen— In  reply  to  your  inquiry  referring  to  the  use  of  your  Sash  Ribbon 
in  the  First  National  Bank  Building.  We  commenced  the  use  of  your  material  over 
two  years  ago,  and  refitted  the  whole  building.  Since  then  we  have  had  no  breakage 
of  the  Ribbon,  whereas,  before  the  ropes  were  constantlj'  breaking,  causing  no  end 
of  trouble  and  expense.  Also  the  breakage  of  glass  has  been  verj'  materially  less 
since  adoj)ting  your  device.  We  are  pleased  to  say  we  have  not  had  to  expend  one 
cent  on  any  window  since  putting  it  in.  I would  not  use  any  other. 

Respectfully  yours.

NOTE  WHAT  IT  IS. 


It  consists  ol  a ribbon  made  ot  aluminum  bronze  or  steel,  used  in  connec- 
tion with  weights  in  the  same  manner  as  rope  or  chain. 

l ire  ribbon  will  not  get  caught,  will  not  kink,  and  can  not  get  out  of  order. 

It  jjresents  a neat  appearance  and  will  not  collect  dust  or  dirt. 

Our  pulle)s  are  made  e.xpressly  lor  use  with  ribbon,  and  will  run  smoothly 
and  noiselessly. 

Our  attachment,  the  result  crt  years  of  experiment  and  trial,  is  easil)'  made 
and  will  not  pull  out  or  cut  the  ribbon. 

'I'liis  attachment  is  one  ol  the  secrets  ol  our  success,  as  the  wooden  wed^re 
which  secures  the  ribbon,  being  less  hard  than  the  latter,  will  not  cut  it,  and  we 
can  state  positively,  after  years  of  experience,  that  no  other  method  will  give 
satislaction. 

Beware  oe  imitations. 

See  that  you  speciey  and  GET  the  Gardner. 

We  can  make  ribbon  cheaper  than  the  cheapest  rope. 


The  Sash  should  always 
be  cut  as  shown 
above.

Dear  Sir — We  have  used  the  Gardner  Noiseless  Pullej’s  on 
most  all  the  Avindows  in  the  General  Office  for  the  last  two 
years,  and  have  found  them  to  give  general  satisfaction.  The 
windows  handle  much  easier  and  are  never  out  of  order,  and 
.so  far  have  never  had  to  replace  one.  I think  they  are  a 
great  improvement  on  the  old  cord  formerly  used,  and  in 
the  long  run  are  much  more  economical.  The}'  have  Avorked 
so  satisfactorily  that  it  aa'hs  decided  some  time  ago  that  as 
fast  as  the  old  cords  gave  out  they  are  to  be  replaced  Avith

Gkntlkmen — In  reply  to  your  inquiry  referring  to  the  u.se  of  your 
Sash  Ribbon  in  the  P'irst  National  Rank  Puilding.  We  coniinenced  the 
use  of  your  material  over  two  3’ears  ago,  and  refitted  the  whole  building. 
.Since  then  we  have  had  no  breakage  of  the  Ribbon,  whereas,  before,  the 
ropes  were  constantly  breaking,  causing  no  end  of  trouble  and  expense. 
Al.so  the  breakage  of  glass  has  been  very  materially  less  since  adopting 
your  device.  We  are  plea.sed  to  say  we  have  not  had  to  expend  one  cent 
on  any  window  since  putting  it  in.  I would  not  use  any  other. 

Respectfully  yours,

It  was  used  ii  was  always  more  or  less  out  of  order.  We  are  verv  glad  to  add  our  testimouv  to  tliat  of  others  in

Gentlemen  — After  careful  stud}-  of  the  qualities  of  j-our 
Sash  Pulley  and  Steel  Ribbon,  aud  comparing  same  with  other 
methods  of  hanging  sash,  preference  was  given  to  your  pulley 
and  ribbon  for  the  sash  of  the  Reiter  Building,  State,  VanBuren 
and  Congress  Streets.  This  building  is  over  four  hundred 
feet  long,  eight  stories  high,  and  being  designed  for  a retail 
store  or  stores,  the  windows  are  exceedingly  large,  mostly  from 
six  to  eight  feet  wide,  and  those  of  the  second  story  some 
twelve  feet  high.  The  sash  for  such  openings  require  the 
very  best  cord  and  pulleys.  Good  pulleys  can  be  obtained  by 
paying  for  them,  but  I was  unable  to  find  as  good  a pulle\’  as 
yours  at  the  price  you  charged  us.  The  question  of  cord, 
chain  or  ribbon  is  a serious  one  where  windows  are  as  heavy 
as  those  in  the  Reiter  Building,  and  it  was  only  after  the  most 
thorough  examination,  with  the  assistance  of  an  expert  to  visit 
the  place  where  the  ribbon  was  in  use,  that  the  question  was 
decided  and  the  contract  was  awarded  to  you.

Gentlemen — Your  Sash  Balance  was  brought  to  our 
attention  early  in  1891,  and  seeming  to  possess  much  merit, 
we  have  specified  and  used  it  in  some  work  then  under 
way,  especiall}'  in  the  residence  of  Alexander  G.  Cochran, 
in  We.stmoreland  Place,  this  cittv 

It  is  undoubtedly  an  excellent  material  for  hanging  win- 
dows, and  we  are  thoroughly  satisfied  with  it,  as  it  has 
given  perfect  satisfaction  in  ever}’  ‘respect. 

Yours  trul}’,

Gentlemen — When  our  attention  was  first  called  to  j'otir  methods  of 
balancing  sa.sh  by  means  of  steel  band  we  were  favorably  impressed,  and 
immediately  made  use  of  it  in  our  work.  In  its  operation  we  regard  it 
as  superior  to  any  for  hanging  sash,  by  the  ease  of  movement,  durability 
and  the  neat  appearance  pre.sented.  We  have  remarked,  “It  is  strange  it 
was  not  thought  of  and  made  use  of  years  ago.” 

Yours  truly.
